The secret to handicapping is distingishing what it looks like on the surface with what it is underneath

80s song you may have forgotten:

CSN “Southern Cross”

Possibly the most beautiful song ever written.

@PaigeSpiranac Take it easy Ms. Carner. They are starting to sag a bit just move back away a touch, not to the point you need to change your lie angle but in later years, probable!

Longtime Cincinnati columnist Paul Daugherty's latest is headlined: "I'm sick of the #Reds"
"Their only consistency is organizational mediocrity"
"...Time to be ill with the Reds and their seasons of Groundhog Day baseball.
...The Reds don’t know what they’re doing."

@McInnispicks As soon as he caught it I said "just make a tackle", I said it a couple times more to no avail, Ouch

We just saw something special at The Big A.

Tom Durkin returned to the booth for one final call on Aqueduct’s final day of racing, as CLOSE THE LOOP wins Race 2.

Today is a sad day in horse racing.

TVG/FanDuel is officially going away.

Am I surprised???

Not at all.

This is what decades of poor leadership, mismanagement, and a complete lack of vision looks like.

TVG/FanDuel wasn't just a television network.

It was horse racing's best marketing engine.

It created horseplayers. It created owners. It created lifelong fans.

For more than 25 years, TVG/FanDuel educated, entertained, and inspired people with passion, energy, integrity, and authenticity.

Nobody covered this sport better because nobody loved it more.

What a great team of people!!!!!

And now with the leadership entities in racing sitting on 100s of millions we're just letting it disappear. 🤦‍♂️

Don't underestimate what happens next.

Handle will decline.

Fewer fans will discover racing.

Fewer owners will enter the game.

More tracks will close.

This is so much more than losing a TV network.

This is accelerating the decline of an already struggling sport.

Personally, I wouldn't own 300+ racehorses today without TVG/FanDuel and I probably wouldn't even be the racing fan I am today without them.

Every interview and appearance on that network was an honor. Every person I met there genuinely loved horse racing and fought every day to make it better.

My heart breaks for every employee and every family affected. They all deserved better.  
♥️🙏 

Thank you TVG/FanDuel.
